SUPER EYE // Tape

Eye



This is the Eye project, made with adhesive colour
tape: black, red and green. In the middle, the Iris,
I used a metal pan lid that I found abandoned in the
kitchen.
The Eye is in one of my house white walls and is about
4 meters long and 2 meters high.
I like this days to go back to Tape,,,,I use it and work
with a lot of freedom and improvisation. I express myself
directly and quickly without worrying too much about
errors because with the adhesive I can edit and change in
the same time I have the feeling and the idea in my head
and my hands.

MESMERIZING ISTANBUL

mesmerizing Istanbul.

TARLABASI // street Art Istanbul

tarlabasi








Since Im in Istanbul I've been collecting from
the street posters of clubs and events of the city.
After collecting them I manipulated using media
as collage and painting. I used free magazines from
the city and plastics bags from shops.

The main idea of the Tarlabasi project is to take the
posters from the busy and famous streets of the city
and convert them in a new art work, afterwads find
a new location, new place, which would never be
hung.
I walked around Tarlabasi and I realized was a poor
area and somehow dangerous with drugs and prostitution
problems. But for me makes much more sense to make
a street intervention in this area, out and away of nice
modern-fashion-cool city. The walls are alive and
unspoiled from publicity and others.

MAPS OF ISTANBUL

Istanbul


Istanbul

Istanbul

Im since one month in a new warm city, discovering
other views and ways of living....
where I live has 7 floors and a big highway in front is
crossing the city in the european side.
I got inspired by contructing a map of this huge place,
the sea and watter sorround the city, I took some
time to understand the city shape.
I collected plastics shop bags, flyers and catalogs
from museums in Istanbul to created this map-structure.
The base is made of found cardboard.
The collage-structure is suspended in the air, having in the
bottom view of the city, which is building a super hotel.

YES! WE CAMP FOR OUR RIGHTS // Barcelona

revolution



Time for changes, real changes...
I wanted to put part of my soul in this amazing
and great born of people. Something really nice it's
happening in the heart and brain of many people
in spain.
Energy flow in the veins. Lot of creativity and good
intention looking for better times.
In Plaça Catalunya, barcelona was improvised walls
full of hanging notes and papers which were the people's
wishes. I did my own contribution with three drawings.

WHERE IS ART IN BCN?

tapping



Walking the streets of gotico in barcelona I realize
how much art can be found in the walls, specially in
the old wood doors. Recently I started asking myself
a question: why is so difficult to find art,,, a mean,,,
good art in Barcelona. I go to museums and cultural
centers and off course galleries...... and I find nothing
special, nothing with real soul. I find much more
interesting, funny and good stuff in the narrow streets
of the fashion Barcelona.

I made this street intervention because I want to
emphasize the Work of anonymous artists, that do
art because they feel and really like and enjoy......
and most important: expecting NO MONEY return.
I use tape colour to mark the interest art points.

MISS SUNSHINE

sunshine

I created the personage of Miss Sunshine some time
ago, using fabric scraps I had found in an old fruit
box. After that I left it somewhere in my work place.
A couple of weeks ago I when up to my ateliers roof
and there came to me the idea of making pictures of her.
I used my everyday landscape to frame the sculpture.
What I really like here its the contrast between the
funny-curious-sympathic personage and the natural
scenery.

STRIPS // Drapart festival barcelona

My last street intervention STRIPS speaks about
the forgotten old objects and materials, about our
memory and how far we can remember the feeling,
the touch and the smell of somethings that never will
come back again.
I' ve been inside the old jerseys factory where I took
the fabric peaces, was so touching and amazing, some
fabric machines still left with the material still attached
to the machine, aswell I found so many sample books
and other amazing things. There was no artificial light,
only the light coming from the windows, a large round
spinning machine was in the middle of the huge and
beautifull grey room. I won't forget the sensation to be
there. Now its a forgotten place, but I could feel all the
fabric and material sorrounding me as if they were
completly alive.

MARKET PLACE // cornellà

street market



Last month I was commissioned to intervene a market
stall. At that moment the place its empty but once was
a butcher. The market people wanted me to make
something nice in the empty stall.
In the market are about 40 stalls, I ask each one to
give me a bag or paper where his business name was
writte. I cuted them and put in a round gold paper, which
is used in bakeries. For the instalation I held them with
decorative strips.
The idea was to put all the stall's name in the instalation so
all the market stalls were advertised and to have representation.
At the end look like medals.

MASSIAS SHOWROOM

dkdkdkdkd



I got the job to execute the autumm-winter showroom
for a fashion accessories shop. The showroom was set
up in a white walls gallery.
As usual in my works I didn't buy any material for making
the interior instead I used recicled cotton fabric from an
old clothes factory.
One part of the instalation was made with fabric strips of
diferents colours at the walls, and at the end of the room
I created a close round form, kind of haima made with
woollen scarfs, hats, gloves and green fluorescent light.

ATELIER

This is a special place for me, inspiration and memories
come true everytime Im there.
I found a really old and worn-out wood pieces, I fixed
them together and painted on, I used acrilic, wattercolour,
wax and rope.
I set up the painting in one of the working old tables I have
from my grandfather.

PAPELITOS // bulevar tanger

I made this work in a huge terrace in tanger, morocco.

I recieved a present from a friend, Ana, who gave me

paper colour notes, she was using them for writting ideas,

I put them in the no-writted side and I created a kind of

net, what I wanted obtain its to put colour in a amazing

white view of the city. Aswell giving volum and making

the sculpture strong at the sight but very light in the touch.
